The Pumpkin Patch: A Perfect Family Tradition

Last year we missed out on going to the pumpkin patch because I didn't have any free weekends in October due to my speaking schedule. The new tradition had quickly become a favorite one, so the fact that we weren't able to go last year was a real disappointment. Never again, Kim and I promised ourselves. This year we marked the calendar months in advance. Further proof that in today's busy culture, if you really want something to happen -- especially when it comes to creating scenes with the people you love -- you have to schedule it. …

Feratu Bites Cereal Box Print by Daniel Davis Daniel Davis makes monsters for a living. Daniel and his wife Dawna are the purveyors of Steam Crow, a neat little Arizona-based company that draws monsters, invents their stories, and makes products based on them. I stumbled across Steam Crow at the San Diego Comic Con last summer and was blown away by their colorful, whimsical booth. In a sea of licensed Star Wars and superhero memorabilia, here was someone successfully selling their own original creations (which is no easy feat!). And when I learned that this husband and wife team worked …

How to Make Glowing Chalk

Remember our epic Small Rebellion in which tons of people used sidewalk chalk to scribble inspirational quotes in public spaces? It was awesome. In an effort to take awesomeness to a whole new level, how about making glow-in-the-dark chalk! We think it's a great way to spookify your sidewalks this Halloween. Crystal from Growing a Jeweled Rose has provided the complete instructions for making glowing chalk. It requires making up some batches of glow water (how awesome does that sound?!) and fortunately, she has the recipe to that as well. Thanks Crystal! (And thanks to Kathleen Cummings for …

Dad Sends Son’s Train Into the Stratosphere

This is a cool story (and video) of how a dad sent his son's favorite toy train into the stratosphere. Pretty amazing what one can accomplish with a weather balloon, an HD camera, a GPS-equipped phone, and a little imagination. And after watching the video, it appears as though the train had the time of his life. Hat tip to thekidsshouldseethis.com …

Why We Homeschool, Part 1

I do a lot of speaking in the field of education. Most of the teachers I've met are amazingly good. Passionate. Caring. Kind. Dedicated. Knowledgable. And yet most of them feel hampered by a system that no longer works. School is broken. But the main question isn't, "How do we fix it?" No, the first -- and most important -- question is, "What is school for?" …
